Aloha,
I got the old CD roms of Dragon magazine #1-250.
I was wondering if anyone knows if any of the other ones have come out? have they done one since the move to 3.0 or 3.5?
It's be cool to have them all on disc, this coming from the packrat himself who still has his mags...
It's easier to carry them on disk than a ton of paper magazines.

| There is no such item and I doubt we'll see such an item ever again due to many reasons. Mostly because of the amount of work that will be needed to get everyone's permission to put them on CD. |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

As I recall, this was discussed recently on the paizo.com boards.
For more information, you may want to search for that discussion in their forum archives.

Yes, another item I should have purchased while it was on the shelves, years ago... |

| I've found it about a year ago in a FLGS here in Athens. Possibly the last ever to hit a greek store. And people used to tell me it wasn't very popular here! This archive is a little treasure chest, in every sense of the word! |

I got it for half-price from TSR's Mail Order Hobby Shop, when they were basically dumping them. Ditto for the Interactive Atlas.  |

| I think the price was too high for the time. Computers had yet to become as popular as they are now, and, IIRC, the software cost $50. This was at a time when boxed sets and new hardcovers were $20. So the software would have only been good for a limited number of gamers, and it had to compete against other gaming material. Hell, when I got both programs, I was still a couple of years away from owning my first computer -- I installed them on my roommate's computer. I've since installed those programs on multiple builds of multiple computers I've owned. |
